Cheese Sambusa/Samosa
I remember the first time I had these. I was living in Saudi Arabia and was visiting my neighbor. When I first heard of cheese sambusas. I wasn't sure if I wanted to try this or not. I am so glad I did. These little beauties are awesome. Especially if you are able to get KIRI cheese squares.
Makes 8 large sambusa
120 g. cream cheese or 6 Kiri cheeses
1/2 onion; finely chopped
3 cloves garlic; minced
2 Tbsp. feta cheese
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese; grated
2 Tbsp. milk
3 Tbsp. carrots; grated
3 Tbsp. cilantro; chopped
Sambusa/Samosa wrappers
1. Mix the three cheeses with the garlic and milk.
2. Add the onions, carrots, and cilantro; stir.
3. Fill each sambusa cone with 1 Tbsp. of the cheese filling.
4. Seal the top seam with flour paste.
5. Preheat oil on medium heat.
6. Cook 4 sambusa at a time until golden and bubbly.
7. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
You can use pre-packaged sambusa wrappers, Chinese won ton wrappers, flour tortilla wraps, or you can make them from scratch.

ReplyDeleteHere are the ingredient:-
A.

- 1cm fresh turmeric (if you dont
have it, can replace it with
turmeric powder
- 1cm Ginger

preferable)

B.
- 1/4 teas spoon of Cumin seeds
- 1/4 teas spoon of Fennel seeds
- 1/4 teas spoon of Coriander seeds
Fry it without oil on slow fire until fragrant then grind it or pound it.
Ok the process. Same like you wanna do the chicken curry.
1.
Boiled the dried chillies to soften, toss it and remove the seeds). If you dont have dried chillies you can replace it with fresh chillies or jalapeño, but taste bit diffrent. Then blend it the chillies with onion,garlic, ginger and fresh turmeric.
2.
Curry powder make it into paste
3.
Heat up oil, pour in the (1) & (2), curry leaf until fragrant then pour in the chicken, salt and sugar to taste stir it. Do it until the juice of the chicken dried. Then you pour in the coconut milk, lemon juice, lemon grass and diced sweet potatoes. When it almost dried put in the turmeric leaf, lime leaf and the grinded (**). Viola you already have your filling:)
Important : The taste of sugar,salt and lemon juice must be balance..
Blend : I mean it put all those stuff chillies and etc into the food processor:) sorry!
